RSS to hold annual meeting for first time in J-K

New Delhi: Amid the unrest in Kashmir, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh will hold its annual review meeting for the first time in Jammu in July, looking to send out a message to separatists that the valley is an integral part of the country.

RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat, Bharatiya Janata Party president Amit Shah and leaders from the Vishwa Hindu Parishad will attend the three-day meeting which is scheduled from July 18-20, sources in the Sangh said.

"The time and place of meeting was decided to send out a clear message to separatists in the Kashmir valley that the region is integral part of India and the Sangh is committed to its unity," they added.

The sources also indicated that incidents of stone- pelting and the attack on CRPF jawans could come up for discussion during the meeting.
